Essex / Re: The PEACOCKS of Matching
« on: Saturday 15 July 23 14:07 BST (UK) »
Hello, I am also tracing our family line of Peacock in Matching Essex - we come through an Elizabeth Peacock born 1797 to John and Ann Peacock. Problem is there is no other record of this Ann being married to a John Peacock and everyone assumes it the mother should be Mary Little - and that the parish priest must have made a typo. However Mary did have a sister Ann - so it is not inconceivable that either Elizabeth was born to Ann and John out of wedlock or else there may have been another John Peacock to whom she was married that wasn't recordered? I know the Burger web site has some theories but I was wondering if anyone else has managed to solve the mystery?
